Triple Plus+ IR
Incorporating infrared detection technology the Triple Plus+ IR
extends the capability of the Triple Plus family of products allowing
extended life detection of hydrocarbons and carbon dioxide.
The infrared hydrocarbon sensor offers measurement in inert
backgrounds at both %LEL and %volume levels for tank purging
and inert atmosphere monitoring.
Infrared hydrocarbon sensor benefits
 Volume % measurement for purging applications
 %LEL measurement in air or inert backgrounds
 Single or dual range measurement
 No poisoning effects
 Reduced cost of ownership long life sensor and no burnout
 IR CO2 detection, 02%

Triple Plus+ IR

Specification

Triple Plus+ IR is a 4 channel personal monitor for

flammable hydrocarbons, oxygen and toxic gases offering
single or dual flammable ranges.

Gases and Ranges

Ranges and alarms may vary by country and application which may
be configured as required. Each channel can have up to three levels of
alarm, including short and long TWA exposure levels for Toxic channels.
Flammable sensors are offered as a single (0-100% LEL) or dual range
(0-100% LEL and 0-100% Volume) which occupies two channels.
Flammable gas calibrations are available for methane, butane,
acetylene, pentane (% LEL only), propane and ethylene. Other sensors
may be available.
A CO2 IR sensor can be fitted in the place of the Flammable IR sensor
(only one IR sensor may be fitted in the unit).
